• Does Pegasus encourage parental involvement?

  Parental involvement is a cornerstone of our philosophy and success. We invite parents to engage in a myriad of classroom activities and special events. Parents serve on Board committees, lead and support our major fundraising initiatives (Annual Fund and Gala), as well as participate in the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO).

• How are parents informed of students' progress?

  Parent conferences are scheduled twice yearly for the purpose of apprising parents of their child's progress. We have four reporting periods: mid-term in November, end of semester in January, mid-term in March, and end of semester in June.

• Does the school have an emergency preparedness plan?

  The emergency preparedness program is reviewed annually. Students practice fire, earthquake, and lockdown drills several times a year.

• Is tuition increased every year?

  The Board of Trustees evaluates tuition yearly. In the past, tuition has risen an average of 4% to 6% per year.

• Is it permissible for children to take vacations during the school year other than at times allocated in the school calendar?

  Pegasus is a rich academic environment that merits a student's strong commitment to learning every day. Children who leave for extended periods of time are unable to glean the full benefit of their education. We strongly encourage parents to have children attend school daily and on time, planning their family vacations during the school holidays.

• What secondary schools and colleges do students attend after eighth grade?
